According to the Assoc. Prof. of the Department of Social Sciences of EHU Uladzislau Ivanou, one of the leading lecturers at the program: “The importance and necessity of the EHU program in Gender Studies in the region is based on the academic and political evolution. It will make research in sociology and related disciplines more visible and will undoubtedly become a place for intellectual and practical meetings and exchange, but, above all, it will allow the transfer of gender knowledge through the academic channel.
Also, this Master's program is of great social importance: it meets nowadays’ political requirements and the requirements of civil society, preparing specialists who will be able to solve important social and political problems, such as: gender political asymmetry in rights and responsibilities, gender inequality in pay, violence against women, sexism in society, media and public discourse, gender stereotypes, etc.”
The curriculum of the Program is designed in such a way as to prepare highly qualified sociologists, who can systematically analyze relevant societal phenomena and challenges related to gender categories, to prepare and implement sociological research projects, and to propose possible solutions to social problems related to gender norms.
The new Master’s Program is based on the 20-year-long tradition of EHU in the field of Gender Studies, since a similar program was already implemented by the University during its operation in Belarus. Despite this, the Program is the only full-fledged Master’s Program in Gender Studies in Lithuania and Belarus!
The studies under the Program will last for 1.5 years and will be conducted in English in the blended learning format that combines full-time education in Vilnius with distance learning.
